Tina and I are excited to announce the next training program available for Virtual Assistants.

On February 2nd, the “Video, Webinar and Podcasting for Virtual Assistants” program, will launch the 2009 Hot Skill VA Training ’specialty’ programs.

Led by Michelle Shoen, this program promises to be a fantastic one. Here’s just a sample of what you will be able to do once you these skills under your belt:

• setup and record webinars for your clients - everything from setting up the webinar through to creating a recorded video of the session
• create online promotional videos - help your clients produce videos that can be posted on their sales pages to assist in marketing efforts
• create video based information products - record and create information based videos that can be sold as products online
• create audio podcasts - editing and production of audio podcasts that can be submitted to iTunes and other podcasting directories

Join us for a free ’sneak-peek’ on Tuesday, January 20th. On this 1 hour call, Michelle will share:

• The top 5 things that clients are asking for help with
• What you need to know to start offering this as a specialty
• How much you can charge for these services
• How to get started in this specialty

“See” you there!

There’s a buzz out there these days ….. the title “Online Business Manager” is getting out more and more and both Virtual Assistants and online based business owners are eager to learn what it’s all about.

It’s been a couple of months now since my partner Tina Forsyth officially launched her new book “Becoming an Online Business Manager“. If you don’t know what an OBM is or you want to learn how to become one, you owe it to yourself to add this to your collection of essential business books.

The easy to read chapters have ignited all kinds of discussion and not only are Virtual Assistants waiting in line to learn how they can become an OBM, business owners are eager to learn where to find one.

Tina has all kinds of fantastic stuff planned for the next few months related to her book. To learn more, visit her website at www.OnlineBusinessManager.com

My partner Tina Forsyth and I are offering a class today about a new trend in the Virtual Assistant industry - **Specializing**.

Over the last 9 months we’ve heard a lot of business owners tell us that they want an expert VA - one who specializes in a specific area versus a VA who does it all.

Tina and I have identified 14 specialty areas and we’ll be sharing them on the call today. To learn more about these, you can sign up for our free ecourse at www.HotSkillsVATraining.com.

You’ve likely heard about many of these specialty areas and you may even know quite a bit about them …. so how do you decide where you want specialize and what services you want to eliminate? We’ll share more about this on the call and also via several channels - blog posts, articles, ezines etc. over the next few weeks.

We want to hear from you….

• What area do you specialize in?
• Why did you decide to specialize in this area?
• How did you change your business to focus on this area?

Looking forward to your details!
